12 Tags of 2013- December!!

I cant believe this is my last 12 tags post of 2013! It feels like this year has went by so fast... but then scrolling on my Facebook post.. I realized that this year has been filled with loving memories that I will cherish forever. this months tag I really had to play around with to figure out how I wanted to make it. I think it turned out pretty good! here it is!

 

to start I just made a simple background using the following products, just like tim did

 

this Is what I got

 



 

then I taped some tissue tape on the background and covered them with ink.. you could have did this before you inked the tag but I just didn't know I was going to use tissue tape until afterwards.  I added this step because felt like this tag needed a little something extra

 

then I stamped a saying and added my flower

 

I made the flower the same way Tim did it so I didn't think I needed to explain it.. but you can visit his blog under Decembers tag, and he explains how to make it.

 

This year has been amazing:) I hope all of your guys have had a great time creating along with Tim Holtz just like I did:) I am excited to see what 2014 has in store:) and thank you guys for sticking along with me I hope your year was great as well! I still have to get a new years resolution that ill probably forget about again! I was supposed to loose weight this year... yea that didn't happen lol

Ill see you guys next time!! I will post a couple more before the end of the year so this isn't the last time ill talk to you amazing people:)

 

 

12 Tags of 2013- November!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving full of family and friends and lots of love!. I know my thanksgiving meal took a lot of planning, but the pay off has been great!.
 
these last few months I haven't been posting a lot of posts.. which is sad because my blog has been growing in popularity. this month has been so busy, I made this tag a long time ago but im just getting to up load it... like a day before it ends ha-ha!
 
here's my tag of the month!

 
So  I started just like Tim did with a black tag and then I followed his instructions to correctly do the chalking technique.

I used a label and used my idea-ology bubble letters to write "invent" on it. I finished with some glitter glue down the side and a blue ribbon at the top that has some pins stuck to it.

I pretty much stuck to what time did... im a more colorful person so of course I had to add the blue embellishments which is perfect for the winter time!

here's some extra pictures I took.

thank you guys for reading!! see you guys next time!!

12 Tags of 2013- October!

hello everyone!! So I'm not going to lie I struggled a little bit with this months tag.. I couldn't get the products I had to "work" with Tim's techniques. After I tried a lot of different ways to make all the cool glittered pieces work.. I couldn't get it to look quite right... so I " improvised" I needed to get a tag up this month and with one day left in October I'm finally getting it up! so here we go... my Halloween tag!

 

So as you can see I used to "funky" items that I don't normally use in my daily use haha

 

for the background I went with the old fashioned distress ink in Dusty concord, iced spruce and black soot

 

I then glued on some letters from idea-ology along the left side of the tag

 

 

 

then I took a tiny glass bottle from idea-ology and I put some clear glue in the bottle. then I added some green alcohol ink. the alcohol ink does not want to blend in with the glue so it made a cool slimy affect. I also put a scoop of the black soot distress glitter in there to make it speckled.. I turned out pretty cool  and disgusting looking at the same time.. but what is better for Halloween

 

 

I just added some more embellishments to the tag and then I was done with a tag I actually liked haha

 

I attempted to make my tag with all the glittered pieces like Tim's, but I just couldn't get it to work.. I was a little bumbed but I think this tag looks great too!

Here's some more pictures

 

 

 

 

ok so I hope you guys enjoyed!! make sure you have a great Halloween filled with lots of family and friends and of course.. crafting!!

thanks for everything and sorry again about putting this up last minute!! I promise to have the November one up sooner!
